This may be a really dumb reply, if so, my apologies, but..Steve... did the old mouse have a mousewheel? if you depress the wheel it locks into scroll mode and then any mouse movement makes the screen jag and up and down...by design of course...another click of the wheel disengages this...

I run Jtrader and have had experience similar to CrazyCanucks - maybe 2 disconnects in the last year...I find it perfectly reliable running thru cable modem access... I used TWS for a year and had very good reliability, but it was worse than Jtrader has been, maybe 5 - 8 problem days in the...

This article from the cbot website was posted on ET once before...I found it to be a more comprehensive look at how one person plays gaps than many...if anyone finds it of use, great - http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail/0,3206,928+14719,00.html

Just wanted to say thanks Acrary for the post....and a big Thank You for all your posts, though you don't waste your time posting your head off, when you do post, 9 out 10 times I learn something that I can think on a bit that I know comes from a true student of the markets, who obviously does...

Kudos to you Chaos and just a sidenote...this thread is the reason ET still has some value...a real need brought to the community by a trader, some real replies given, a positive vibe throughout and a positive end result....its exactly what a "community" of traders helping each other should be...

Couple of thoughts - If you're "getting up nicely" then giving it back, set a goal tomorrow, whether its 100.00 or 200.00 or whatever....hit it then stop. A few days of a positive P/L in your pocket might just throw the monkey off. Otherwise, why not just take a vacation...tis the season...

Well I'll post a real reply, if you could prove (i.e. demonstrate it live) it was currently averaging 4 pts a day live, and I was given some explanation as to the reasoning behind it that seemed to contain an edge that might produce for at least a few months, I'd pay a few thousand for it....the...

The original thread was a mathematical model by HarryTrader that proved that Leon and Eddie were, in fact, the Antichrist. Walther followed up with an astute prediction of exactly what time tomorrow they would take over the world (+/- 15 minutes, and only if they had divergence). Need you...

You're missing some data... there were over 24 trades (varying sizes) printed on my T&S in the gap you mention...then a second before your next trade at 40.50, ive got a 201 contract trade at 40.00, scooping up those offers.... Then your trade at 40.50 at 3:06:06 comes in... hope that helps!

If you look only at my account size, my % return is pretty ok, but if you look at what I made last year...I took a 50% pay cut this year...the contracted volatility didnt suit my style as well this year...*insert obligatory reference to good old days of last summer and 40 pt ES ranges everyday*...

It's probably just mostly human nature...we're a lot less likely to start a thread: IB worked today just like it is supposed to Much more vocal when things go how we don't like them, complaining, than when everything just goes along how it should

If you do start using volume at price studies, also pay some attention to the lowest volume areas...it always means something when a price trades thru with no contention whatsoever...just my 1.5 cents

Of course...knowing that a couple hundred to a few thousand traders will be watching a specific price is always a waste of time...please see today (friday's) NQ 5 min chart that I've attached to see just how utterly useless it was for me to know where the pivot points were today...

First, you have to consider the reason why the journal keeper is even writing...many are doing it just to hold themselves accountable and they dont care what they prove to others.... Among those who are trying to prove something...if they post account snapshots, they get the flame: We dont...

I just want to know this... Did your cat ever come back? Your 'breakfast buddy'? Thanks..

Also, not sure of this, but your Simulator price feed might be delayed, don't know who you're with, but since its just a sim, maybe that is causing you to think you have time to cancel an order but it is already being filled/pending fill because of some small simfeed delay... On a reliability...

You can cancel any order that hasnt been filled...on the Status tab there is a working order field...Orders there are not yet filled and are working and can be pulled with a click, or adjusted by clicking on them. When you want to change an order, is it still in the working field? Also, what...

Come on join our party, Trade to Kill! :D

Thanks for the perspective on the number...basically you're saying its just something a talking head threw out there because it sounds "alarming" or "interesting" but really its chump change that more probably indicates some smarter folks using lower rates to leverage certain plays with more...

Saw this in another thread: this little gem from fleck tonight. Reflecting on the recent news, I have been struck by the prominence of manialike psychology and behavior. That folks have chosen to live in a time warp seems particularly clear from the report that margin debt at NASD-member firms...
